Travellers up back alleys in Ossy again
 

Just sat at my friends who lives on Roe Greave road in Ossy and i was gobsmacked at what i've just seen, a van which looked like a small Luton backed up right down the back alley and as it came forward a young traveller was stood on top of it looking in everyones back yards.

So if you live in Ossy and have anything of any value in your back garden i suggest you take it in the house, i know this has happened before but just warning you

I might just prepare a nice suprise for them, as the sun's just come out.

i will probably be flamed for this but hey,

i find it odd, that you have a picture of the kray twins (convicted murderers), notorious criminals on your profile, but

some gypo,(and i apologise if anyone finds that term non-pc or insulting, its not meant like that, its a term i grew up with and its only the same as calling someone a "gobbiner, or a "wooden top" or even a "thick neck") drives down your backyard looking for old scrap, performing a free service your council that YOU pay council tax for, will charge you for again if you want that old cooker moving, and you think its ridiculous, yes i know sometimes they take things that dont belong to them, but they arent taking peoples lives and ruling an area of lancashire with an iron fist.

i for one leave any scrap i have at the front gate, and within the day its gone, left out for The Wombles only nowadays Orinocho and wellington are driving a flat back van, and wearing vests

Re: Travellers up back alleys in Ossy again
 

is there something wrong with warning people about this problem? If people WANT to leave things out for travellers then fair enough...but for them to stand on the top of vans actually LOOKING for things....i think thats a bit much

Re: Travellers up back alleys in Ossy again
 

Why? I rang HBC about a knackered washing machine, they told me anything up to 2 weeks for collection, I put it out in the back yard with it holding my gate open and it was gone within 3 hours.

Perhaps the Council should employ them on a regular basis?

I have seen them round my way, window down on passenger side of transit with someone sat on the door so they can see over the back yards. My next door neighbour had his ally extension ladder stolen from his locked back yard.

Do you think that is ok?

Do you think he was happy that
I think flashy summed it up nicely :rolleyes:

Please explain who rules with an iron fist?

Re: Travellers up back alleys in Ossy again

Re: Travellers up back alleys in Ossy again

Re: Travellers up back alleys in Ossy again

Mick cleaned up this thread once and the name calling continued. I have removed all the off topic posts.
The thread is a warning about people driving down back streets looking over your wall to see what they can steal. Please can we keep it on thread?
